Method of stimulating hair growth

Abstract

A method of stimulating growth of a hair shaft from a hair follicle on a scalp of a human includes supplying a hair growth system. The hair growth system includes a vitamin complex ingestible by the human, a cleansing agent suitable for washing the scalp at least once every 48 hours and substantially free from each of sodium lauryl sulfate, palmitoyl ethanolamide, and dehydroepiandrosterone, and a plurality of laser diodes disposed in a fixture. The fixture is configured for surrounding the scalp and applying electromagnetic radiation to the scalp. The method also includes applying electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of from about 380 nm to about 1,000 nm to the scalp at a radiant flux of from about 600 nW to about 700 nW via the plurality of laser diodes to stimulate growth of the hair shaft from the hair follicle. A hair growth system is also disclosed.
